I received a call from my daughter, a dispatcher who requested I make a card for a patrolman's mom for her 50th birthday. Sounded easy, until she stipulated that he wanted a naked redhead sleeping in a dog bed. Nope, no can do. A day later, she stops over and asks, " so will you do the card?" I answer no. Coloring naked anything is just not me. Stamp or image, not possible to locate one. I turned the tables and agreed to do it IF he finds an image that is decent. He turned up with this one, thankfully with clothes on. Mom got a little looped when she was 40 and while undressing, fell into the dog bed where she remained for the night. Thus the request. I did this all digitally in Photoshop Elements. The clipping mask (the black behind the image) was a free one from the internet. I used brushes (digital stamps) to create the scrollwork and dragonflies and used free digi paper from Scrapbook.com adding subtle stamping to the background. A good friend helped come up with a sentiment. I stitched around the edges to add some texture and added a few Ranger enamel accent dots to the background. Thanks for stopping and thanks Diane (ciocidi) for the inspiration to try digital again.
